Improving the quality of crude oil and fuels to accomplish todays environmental requirements becomes a more challenging task. Heterogeneous catalysis has been a reliable and solid science where several industrial technologies have found support. My research is focused on the evaluation of novel materials for the removal of heteroatoms...

My research focus involves the connection of understanding fundamental reaction mechanics to the application of global demand for the activation of the C-H bond using heterogeneous catalysis. The long term goal is to consume readily available fuels such as natural gas to produce terminal olefins and oxygenates that are useful chemical feedstocks.

The main goal of my research is to study the relationship between the physicochemical/structural properties of zeolites and the catalytic activity in the upgrading of biomass, crude oil and natural gas. Initially, I will characterize and measure the activity of conventional and pristine zeolites to then focus on the modification of the acid character of such zeolites...
